My quick rating - 3.1/10. I am sure this will be another narcissistic pile of crap but we shall see. Four social media influencers livestream their trip to Devil's Manor, the former home of a Satanic Cult. Things don't go well. And as the violence ramps up... so do the views. 15 minutes into this flick and I cannot decide who I root for to die first. They are all excruciatingly painful to listen to so hopefully someone will be "mashing" an axe into them and not the subscribe button. Someone in the comments that have been streaming the whole time just said "how to get rid of the comments. so irritating." Strange how I was just wondering if those were going to go the entire friggin' movie. It was creative enough to use their constant need for streaming to show different perspectives of the narrative. Everyone watches Blair Witch and thinks "I can do that" and this is further proof YOU CAN. That movie sucked and so does this one however that movie had brilliant marketing behind it while this is just another shitty example of found footage. You do see the killer, or killers in this one but that doesn't lead to any quality kills or gore. The ending just turns into the scares you get at a community haunted house, strobes and all. I won't get into the acting and say they were terrible since that is exactly what they were supposed to be. If you are told to be irritating young adults desperately craving attention by the writer (Travis Bible) and you turn in that performance, mission accomplished. Speaking of writing, there really isn't a single thing going on here that hasn't been touched upon countless times in other horror flix and very often done far better. I did notice that Bible is more known for his editing and that might be the highlight of this movie since that is done well flipping between different streamers for points of view. Overall, this one showed up and is already gone in the 83 minutes it took to watch it. I can only recommend this one if you are on a quest to see every first-person handicam horror tripe you can get your eyes on. Or you are a glutton for punishment like me. BTW, the comments went on throughout the entire movie. You have been warned.
